Much easier to manage and season than baking eggplant, this pan-frying method requires a stainless steel pan and a bit of creativity: enough to whip up a delicious and healthy dish in no time.

Ingredients Needed for Cooking Eggplant

Cooking eggplant quickly is child's play! For 4 people, here are the quantities you need:

  • 2 large eggplants

  • 2 garlic cloves

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil

  • A large pinch of salt

  • A pepper mill

Want to add more vegetables to your stir-fry for maximum flavor? Prepare your choice of:

  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and cubed

  • 2 zucchini, finely diced

  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced

Those with a sweet tooth can combine all these vegetables in a pan, depending on your mood, your hunger, and the number of guests!

 

Steps to Successfully Pan-Fry Eggplant

 

  • Wash your eggplant then cut it into cubes or slices (depending on your mood). Be sure to remove the ends.

  • Heat your stainless steel frying pan to 2/3 of your burner power. Wait about 2 minutes, then add a drop of water to your frying pan. If it rolls on the surface like a small marble, your surface is hot enough!

  • Pour one to two tablespoons of olive oil into the pan.

  • Then add the eggplant and garlic, before reducing the heat to about 1/3 of its maximum power.

  • Add salt and pepper to taste.

  • Let the eggplant brown gently on each side, then add the remaining desired ingredients (seasoning, vegetables, onions, etc.)

  • The vegetables are cooked when they are very tender.

Serve as a sandwich filling with feta cheese, or as a topping for a href="https://atmakitchenware.fr/blogs/mediatma/la-cote-de-boeuf-a-la-poele" target="_blank">pan-fried prime rib or fish en papillote… Let your taste buds and imagination run wild.

 

Our tips for seasoning your pan-fried eggplant

 

Once your dish is beautifully roasted, a wide range of possibilities open up to you. You can spice up your pan-fried eggplant with Espelette pepper, oregano, or even a few chopped basil leaves, depending on your taste!

 

This recipe is also an excellent base for many eggplant dishes. For example, you can create a delicious Provençal pan-fried dish by combining several vegetables with the eggplant (zucchini, onions, tomatoes), which you can serve on a large platter. Sprinkle with feta cheese for an absolutely irresistible flavor.

Alternatively, for a spicier flavor, you can prepare a very easy recipe: pan-frying the eggplant with coconut milk. Simply add the spices of your choice (curry, turmeric, ginger, etc.) to your eggplant slices, then heat the mixture gently before pouring a carton of coconut milk into the pan. Let it steep for about ten minutes, then serve with white rice and cilantro. A real treat.

For a delicious summer dip, you can also blend the eggplant slices with 2 tablespoons of tahini and the juice of one lemon. Season to taste. You'll end up with a delicious purée, also known as Baba Ganoush, to be enjoyed with pita bread. A guaranteed success!
